Article Abstract:

There are many challenges facing actors and actresses who have to step into a role at very short notice. Sudden changes in the cast can cause creative tension, but this can actually have a positive effect.

Indeed, Malo, the creative force behind the band, is the son of immigrants from Cuba.

This was the case, for example, with Andrew Davies' screenplay of 'Pride and Prejudice.'
